Keying in Large Numbers
Since the display cannot show more than 10 digits of a number, numbers greater
than 9,999,999,999 cannot be entered into the display by keying in all the digits
in the number. However, such numbers can be easily entered into the display if the
number is expressed in a mathematical shorthand called “scientific notation.” To
convert a number into scientific notation, move the decimal point until there is only
one digit (a nonzero digit) to its left. The resulting number is called the “mantissa”
of the original number, and the number of decimal places you moved the decimal
point is called the “exponent” of the original number. If you moved the decimal
point to the left, the exponent is positive; if you moved the decimal point to the
right (this would occur for numbers less than one), the exponent is negative. To key
the number into the display, simply key in the mantissa, press Æ (enter exponent),
then key in the exponent. If the exponent is negative, press Þ after pressing
Æ.

For example, to key in $1,781,400,000,000, we move the decimal point 12
places to the left, giving a mantissa of 1.7814 and an exponent of 12:

The CLEAR Keys
Clearing a register or the display replaces the number in it with zero. Clearing
program memory replaces the instructions there with gi00. There are several
clearing operations on the hp 12c, as shown in the table below:
